    You know Tim Sweeney really could do with having his social media access taken away from him. It’s not like he has anything of value to contribute.

    He should stick to just announcing Epic releases and otherwise just shut up.

      Cuz he’s one of them. It’s how he became CEO. It’s how they all become CEO. It isn’t rocket science. They’re broken freaks.

    Jesus this guy really always finds a way to dig deeper in the abyss doesn’t he? Why does anyone even listen to him anymore?

      I honestly don’t think anyone does listen to him. He’s just shouting into the void at this point.

      I would be genuinely interested how many industry professionals actually bothered to subscribe to him vs other studio bosses. I’ve never heard of him post anything industry related, it’s always just ranting like this.

    Love how the entire economy now revolves around the Torment Nexus and CEOs have to defend it every chance they get

    I’m fine with all of these CEOs giving me even more reasons to not support AAA companies and give my money to indies.

    Also he’s wrong, this isn’t the first rodeo of AI producing CSAM, when people discovered stable diffusion could do it they made the filters a lot better on the XL version, but Musk doesn’t give a fuck.

      Censoring child porn is extra unfair to republicans as it’s the only way many if them can cum and only banning orgasms for one party isn’t fair.

      I guess “think of the children” only applies when it erodes consumer privacy

    Communities have values and standards. Those fat cats and their systems of extracting capital have been chipping away at that for decades. Shame used to be a thing. No values. No standards, No shame.

      At first I was kinda issues that they turned their backs on the unreal franchise in such a disrespectful way.

      But at this point that feels right. Current Epic doesn’t deserve to be associated with Unreal.
